A systematic pan-cancer analysis identifies TRIM28 as an immunological and prognostic predictor and involved in immunotherapy resistance.

ABSTRACT: Tripartite motif-containing protein 28 (TRIM28), as a transcriptional cofactor, has pleiotropic biological effects, such as silencing genes, promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation, and facilitating DNA repair. It is reported that TRIM28 is also correlated with immune infiltration in liver cancer that highlights an unnoticed function of TRIM28 in immune system. However, the prognostic and immunotherapeutic role of TRIM28 in human cancer has not been elucidated. In this study, we conducted a systematic pan-cancer analysis and partial experimental validation of TRIM28 as an immunological and prognostic predictor and its involvement in immunotherapy resistance. We found that TRIM28 expression was higher in various tumor tissues than in normal tissues. Higher TRIM28 expression was
